The Mi-28NM is the current version of the Havoc, delivered from 2019. Unlike the Hind it carries no troops at all: it is a two seat tandem gunship with an armoured cockpit designed to stop 20 mm rounds, self sealing tanks and a structure meant to keep the crew alive in a hard landing. The NM upgrade added a radar in a drum above the rotor, a new sight, uprated engines and heavier long range missiles. On MCS the Havoc is the Russian answer to the Apache and plays the same way: use terrain, expose the mast radar, engage from cover and drop back down. It is tougher than most gunships and its cannon hits hard. Compared with the Ka-52 it is less agile and cannot fight sideways. Recommended for players who want a survivable, straightforward anti armour helicopter.
